2 Corinthians 7

HNV 1
Having therefore these promises, beloved, let us cleanse ourselves from all defilement of flesh and spirit, perfecting holiness in the fear of God.
NIV 1
Since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.
HNV 2
Open your hearts to us. We wronged no one. We corrupted no one. We took advantage of no one.
NIV 2
Make room for us in your hearts. We have wronged no one, we have corrupted no one, we have exploited no one.
HNV 3
I say this not to condemn you, for I have said before, that you are in our hearts to die together and live together.
NIV 3
I do not say this to condemn you; I have said before that you have such a place in our hearts that we would live or die with you.
HNV 4
Great is my boldness of speech toward you. Great is my boasting on your behalf. I am filled with comfort. I overflow with joy in all our affliction.
NIV 4
I have great confidence in you; I take great pride in you. I am greatly encouraged; in all our troubles my joy knows no bounds.
HNV 5
For even when we had come into Macedonia, our flesh had no relief, but we were afflicted on every side. Fightings were outside. Fear was inside.
NIV 5
For when we came into Macedonia, this body of ours had no rest, but we were harassed at every turn--conflicts on the outside, fears within.
HNV 6
Nevertheless, he who comforts the lowly, God, comforted us by the coming of Titus;
NIV 6
But God, who comforts the downcast, comforted us by the coming of Titus,
HNV 7
and not by his coming only, but also by the comfort with which he was comforted in you, while he told us your longing, your mourning, and your zeal for me; so that I rejoiced still more.
NIV 7
and not only by his coming but also by the comfort you had given him. He told us about your longing for me, your deep sorrow, your ardent concern for me, so that my joy was greater than ever.
HNV 8
For though I made you sorry with my letter, I do not regret it, though I did regret it. For I see that my letter made you sorry, though just for a while.
NIV 8
Even if I caused you sorrow by my letter, I do not regret it. Though I did regret it--I see that my letter hurt you, but only for a little while--
HNV 9
I now rejoice, not that you were made sorry, but that you were made sorry to repentance. For you were made sorry in a godly way, that you might suffer loss by us in nothing.
NIV 9
yet now I am happy, not because you were made sorry, but because your sorrow led you to repentance. For you became sorrowful as God intended and so were not harmed in any way by us.
HNV 10
For godly sorrow works repentance to salvation, which brings no regret. But the sorrow of the world works death.
NIV 10
Godly sorrow brings repentance that leads to salvation and leaves no regret, but worldly sorrow brings death.
HNV 11
For behold, this same thing, that you were made sorry in a godly way, what earnest care it worked in you. Yes, what defense, indignation, fear, longing, zeal, and vengeance! In everything you demonstrated yourselves to be pure in the matter.
NIV 11
See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter.
HNV 12
So although I wrote to you, I wrote not for his cause that did the wrong, nor for his cause that suffered the wrong, but that your earnest care for us might be revealed in you in the sight of God.
NIV 12
So even though I wrote to you, it was not on account of the one who did the wrong or of the injured party, but rather that before God you could see for yourselves how devoted to us you are.
HNV 13
Therefore we have been comforted. In our comfort we rejoiced the more exceedingly for the joy of Titus, because his spirit has been refreshed by you all.
NIV 13
By all this we are encouraged. In addition to our own encouragement, we were especially delighted to see how happy Titus was, because his spirit has been refreshed by all of you.
HNV 14
For if in anything I have boasted to him on your behalf, I was not put to shame. But as we spoke all things to you in truth, so our glorying also which I made before Titus was found to be truth.
NIV 14
I had boasted to him about you, and you have not embarrassed me. But just as everything we said to you was true, so our boasting about you to Titus has proved to be true as well.
HNV 15
His affection is more abundantly toward you, while he remembers all of your obedience, how with fear and trembling you received him.
NIV 15
And his affection for you is all the greater when he remembers that you were all obedient, receiving him with fear and trembling.
HNV 16
I rejoice that in everything I am of good courage concerning you.
NIV 16
I am glad I can have complete confidence in you.
